The Mastercraft Artwood Snare Drum, released in 1980, was eagerly awaited by its fans. Known for its stunning looks, this snare drum is adorned with a beautifully stained, multi-piece wood inlay in the center. The 9 mm/6 layer birch shell delivers significant low-mid tones and clear projection. For detailed and sensitive snare response, the drum features TAMA's unique Roller Action Strainer, an innovative full-contact snare wire design that uses a single on/off lever and two guide rollers for easy and versatile adjustment. This faithful reproduction of TAMA's Mastercraft Artwood Snare Drum is an amazingly beautiful celebration of TAMA's 50th anniversary.
